I am I suppose, but when I see the state of our public schools and other places where the funding can go besides the library, it just makes more sense to me.

Most of the upper management in libraries and people making bigger decisions are done by people who don't want to handle changing things as drastically as they should, they have the old-fashioned idea that everyone wants a physical copy of a book to read and that libraries shouldn't get too involved in technology or anything. Most of the younger people waiting to get into those positions so they can change things become very jaded and give up hope quickly.

I'm not saying libraries shouldn't exist, I just don't think every town needs one. Most people can't conceive of that really though, they think it's as essential to a community as a church or post office. These are the same people who seem to think when they call for a reference question that we delve into our stacks and find the answers in one of the thousands of (probably outdated) books we have and that the person they are talking to isn't immediately hitting up Google and then some more specialized search engines if that doesn't give an answer.
